All About Modern Fireplace Designs
There are many connotations about modern or contemporary designs. In art, it means a lot of things-from artistic freedom and expressionism to nonconformity and individuality. But when it comes to fireplace designs, modern can be summed up with three words: simple yet stylish.
Most modern fireplace designs are uncomplicated-composed of mainly clean straight lines without the lavish décor and classical curves that some traditional designs are known for. They are normally matted in silver or can be in polished wood. Here are some of the most common types and makes of modern fireplace.
Cast iron type is a polished cast insert or fascia panel that accentuates the modern look of your home. The timber surrounds, on the other hand, usually have an oak or pine frame or mantel. This elegant design would fit most contemporary home because it has no fancy corbels. Mix it with granite panel and hearth to achieve that striking contrast.
Perhaps the most common type of modern fireplaces are made from limestone. Lots of modern houses use age-old limestone not just for their fireplaces but also for other parts of the house like the kitchen or even the living room. The reason behind this is that its neutral color helps it to blend with any interior décor. If properly installed, it can even enhance the look of traditional houses. It may look simple, but it surely has a luxurious feel to it. Limestones vary in color and veining so no two limestone fireplaces look exactly the same-even if they have the same design.
Some companies offer micro grain marble mantel for you fireplace. What they do is crush these marbles into fine pieces and then bond them together to make a fireplace mantel. The good thing about this type is that they have a subtle but high gloss finish and remains as glossy for years to come.
Now if you like a modern fireplace design that can last a lifetime, then choose a fireplace suite that is made from natural stone. Some companies build these suites with a durable finish-they are scratch and stain resistant-and are suitable for gas fires.
With today's modern styles, the options and possibilities are truly endless. These designs may appear lacklustre at first, but once you see the overall look of your home, you will realize that there is beauty in simplicity. These modern fireplace designs do not downplay the contemporary look of any home but actually highlight it. Who wouldn't want to have a fireplace that blends well with the interior of the house? Not only is it pleasing to the eye but also provides you with a more enjoyable lounging whenever you prefer to stay in your living room.
The cosy and homey feeling brought about by the fireplace's lit fire is a feast for the senses. And if you are a hopeless romantic, the best way to cap the night off is to sit via the fireside with your loved right beside you. What a difference a fireplace makes!

Should the plasma tv be centered on the wall as the mantel and corbels are?
We are installing a plasma tv over the fireplace on a brick wall. The fireplace is not centered. There is a mantel shelf that is maybe ten feet long and is centered with corbels. It is about seven or eight inches off center of the fireplace. Should the plasma tv be centered on the wall as the mantel and corbels are? Or should it be centered on top of the fireplace?
The TV should be centered over the mantel. Period. I have dozens of clients who have mounted their TV's over their mantels with great success. Many of them store the electronics in a closet.
